Wherever he went, he heard people say, "I must get a photo with Santa today!" Santa is taking a break from Christmas and going on holiday instead.

And all they want is to take photographs with him, whether he's in the gym, having a swim or even eating his lunch. It might not be as fun on holiday as Santa thought . . . Santa Selfie is a brilliantly fun, festive story written by award-winning picture book author, Peter Bently, with a smart message about the perils of being famous. Illustrated with great humour and warmth by exciting talent, Anna Chernyshova. Take your own selfie with Santa absolutely anywhere you go using the pull-out photo frame.
